About Yolks
Yolks, the golden center of an egg, are nutrient-dense and a culinary staple worldwide. Found in dishes across numerous cuisines, from French hollandaise sauce to Japanese ramen eggs, yolks bring rich flavor and texture. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, B12, selenium, and choline, which supports brain health. Yolks also contain healthy fats and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, beneficial for eye health. However, they are higher in calories and contain cholesterol, which has led to some debate about excessive consumption. Moderation is key, and for most people, eggs, including the yolk, can be part of a balanced diet. Perfect for sauces, baked goods, or simply enjoyed on their own, yolks offer both nutrition and culinary versatility.
